A Brief History of Rectangular Watches

Rectangular watches have been around for over a century, originally rising to popularity in the 1920s and ’30s as wristwatches became more common than pocket watches. The shape wasn’t just a stylistic choice—it offered a practical way to display numerals and hands clearly on a smaller dial. Over time, the rectangle took on an air of quiet sophistication, often associated with art deco design. Today, they show up less often than round watches, but that’s part of the appeal: they feel just a little unexpected, with a subtle nod to vintage style without trying too hard.
